Our gorgeous boy Monroe (Absolutely Agape With a Bullet) has made the move north to be with his new family, Melanie, Walt and his new sister Hannah. Monroe is so handsome that we were certain that he was destined for great things in the show ring. But that’s not what Monroe had in mind. He tried to tell us from the start that being a star was just not his thing. What he really wanted was to be a loving member of a nice family where breakfast in bed, playing, kicking back, chewing on chewys and going to the clubhouse was on the agenda for most days. We finally listened. Now Monroe and Hannah can trade going Best in Show and Best Opposite in their own back yard. Ahhhhh……the sweet life.
What a difference 2 years makes.
Blue girl at a day over 13 weeks–I thought they were 14 weeks, but it doesn’t matter–time goes by so quickly and the pups a growing up way to fast!
Red girl (with her wild hair) is always looking for fun. Both pups play well together and with the nice weather I have been able to get them outside in the grass to play. We’ve started leash training and that is work in progress. With very warm temperatures forecast for Sunday I think perhaps a little water in a large plastic container out in the yard with the 2 pups might be fun (plus an easy way for them to get a bath).
Sassy earned her first 2 points at the Mt. Baker KC show in Lynden on May 22. Sassy was Best of Winners with Sheri showing her–and the judge, when handing out the ribbons, pointed out that Sassy showed better for Sheri than she did for her “mother” (me)–and it was true. It was fun for me to watch Sassy in the Best of Breed ring with Sheri on the lead–I was showing Poppy at the time. Looks like Sheri might have another dog to show!!
On Friday, May 19 at the Bell-Vernon KC dog show in Lynden, WA Poppy was Best of Opposite Sex and Owner/Handler. We went to the Owner/Handler Group where Poppy earned a Group 3. Poppy also earned several Select ribbons to add to her growing collection and hopefully earned some points toward her Grand Championship
